Excerpt from What We Did in Australia: Being the Practical Experience of Three Clerks, in the Stock-Yard and at the Gold Fields
It has been a mistake in this country to suppose that labour was other than slightly superfluous, and especially in agricultural districts, the harvests of which would with difficulty be housed, were it not for the swarms of Irish labourers who make their periodic descent on England. The fact is that the agricultural labourer has been told by his employer that there wsretoomanyofhis class, and hismindbeing byno means of the highest order, has believed it, in defiance of his senses, which should have showed him, that at no tinis was there sufficient of his class to gather in the harvest. He has simply behaved his master's interest in prefem to his own eymight. What real superfluity ofhandsthers may have beenisinour huge wen of a metropolis, and in large manufac turing towns, where the abundance of labour has brought wages down to starvation point. In towns the superfiuity of labour was at one time real, and still partially continues so. In the country it has been for the most part imaginary.
